Better for baby

	no chemicals or gels next to their delicate skin.
	soft, padded landing when they fall on their bottom.
	cloth is cosy and cute.
	easier to spot if less wee is being produced, a sign of dehydration.

Better for you

	you can save around £500 by using cloth nappies and even more if you use them on more than one child or sell them on.
	better containment of runny, newborn poo so fewer whole outfit changes are required.
	a baby uses around 4500 disposable nappies by the time they are potty trained.  With cloth, you don't have to purchase bulky packs of nappies when you do your weekly shop.
	modern cloth nappies are easy-to-use and come in lots of different colours, styles and prints.  But be warned.....cloth can be addictive!!

	8 million disposable nappies are thrown away in the UK every day.  That's 3 billion in one year.  Landfill space is running out fast and the nappies will take hundreds of years to decompose.
	4 1/2 trees are destroyed to make disposable nappies for one baby.
	poo is dealt with by the sewerage system rather than going into landfill.
	you can further minimise the environmental impact of cloth by washing on 40 degrees, line drying, using eco-powder, having an energy efficient machine and using a green energy supplier.
